Description

本発明は携帯型エンジン発電機に関し、特に、LPG等のガスボンベから供給される燃焼用ガスによって稼働する携帯型ガスエンジン発電機における燃料系システムのレイアウト構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable engine generator, and more particularly to a layout structure of a fuel system in a portable gas engine generator operated by a combustion gas supplied from a gas cylinder such as an LPG.

ガスエンジン発電機は、ガスを燃料として稼働するエンジン、エンジン出力により発電する発電機、エンジンにガス燃料を供給する燃料系システム、エンジンから排気ガスを排出する排気系システムを備えて構成されている。
従来、携帯型ガスエンジン発電機における燃料系システムは、例えば、ガスボンベ等からの減圧されたガス燃料を供給するための手動燃料コック、ガス燃料をエンジン側へ供給するための開閉弁、ガス燃料を加温してガス化する気化装置(ペーパーライザ)、供給ガスと空気を混合するミキサー、ミキサーへの燃料供給圧を一定に調圧するゼロガバナで構成し、開閉弁において負圧コックが一体化される構造とすることで、エンジンのクランクケース負圧により開弁させ、エンジン稼働時のみガスがエンジン側に供給されるように構成されている。
The gas engine generator includes an engine that operates using gas as a fuel, a generator that generates power using engine output, a fuel system that supplies gas fuel to the engine, and an exhaust system that discharges exhaust gas from the engine. .
Conventionally, a fuel system in a portable gas engine generator includes, for example, a manual fuel cock for supplying decompressed gas fuel from a gas cylinder, an on-off valve for supplying gas fuel to the engine side, and gas fuel. It consists of a vaporizer (paper riser) that heats and gasifies, a mixer that mixes supply gas and air, and a zero governor that regulates the fuel supply pressure to the mixer at a constant level. With this structure, the valve is opened by the negative crankcase pressure of the engine, and gas is supplied to the engine only when the engine is operating.

携帯型ガスエンジン発電機は小型軽量ゆえに転倒し易く、負圧コックの作動負圧にクランクケース負圧を利用すると、クランクケース内の潤滑油が転倒時に負圧コック内に浸入し(潤滑油周りが生じ)作動不良を起こす場合があった。
これを回避するため、例えば特許文献1に記載されるように、ガスエンジン発電機において、クランクケースと別体のブリーザ室を設けて負圧を取り出し、転倒時に潤滑油が負圧コック内に浸入しない構造が提案されている。
Since the portable gas engine generator is small and lightweight, it is easy to tip over. If the negative pressure cock operating negative pressure is applied to the crankcase negative pressure, the lubricating oil in the crankcase will enter the negative pressure cock when it falls May cause malfunction.
In order to avoid this, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, in a gas engine generator, a breather chamber is provided separately from a crankcase to take out negative pressure, and lubricant falls into the negative pressure cock when it falls. No structure has been proposed.

しかしながら、小型軽量の携帯用ガスエンジン発電機の場合、ガスエンジン発電機本体内に別体のブリーザ室を設けることはスペース上困難である。
また、ゴム部品を多用する負圧コックは使用温度に限界があるため、発電機本体内に負圧コックを配置した場合、場所によってはエンジンまたはインバータ等電子装置からの熱影響を受け、使用温度の限界を超えてしまう可能性があり、配置場所に一段と配慮する必要があるという課題があった。
However, in the case of a small and light portable gas engine generator, it is difficult to provide a separate breather chamber in the gas engine generator body.
Also, since the negative pressure cock that uses a lot of rubber parts has a limited operating temperature, when the negative pressure cock is placed in the generator body, depending on the location, it may be affected by the heat from electronic devices such as engines or inverters. There is a possibility that it may exceed the limit, and there is a problem that it is necessary to further consider the arrangement location.

本発明は上記事情に鑑みて提案されたもので、小型軽量の携帯型エンジン発電機に適した燃料系システムのレイアウト構造を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a layout structure of a fuel system suitable for a small and light portable engine generator.

上記目的を達成するため請求項1は、エンジン(30)を稼働して発電する発電部(40)と、前記エンジン(30)のクランク室(31)の負圧を作動負圧として利用しエンジン(30)に燃料を供給するための負圧燃料コック(10)を備えた携帯型エンジン発電機において、次の構成を含むことを特徴としている。
前記負圧燃料コック(10)は、前記携帯型エンジン発電機の転倒時における前記発電部(40)の位置に対して前記クランク室(31)の負圧取出口(39)の反対側で、且つ、前後携帯型エンジン発電機の正立時において、前記負圧取出口(39)よりも高い位置に配置されている。
更に、前記負圧燃料コック(10)は、前記エンジン(30)の冷却風取入口(43)と、前記携帯型エンジン発電機(1)の外部カバー(2)に設けた冷却風取込用ルーバー(8)との間に配置されている。
In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is directed to an engine using a power generation unit (40) for generating power by operating an engine (30) and a negative pressure in a crank chamber (31) of the engine (30) as an operating negative pressure.

本発明によれば、携帯型エンジン発電機の転倒時において、発電部(40)の位置に対して負圧取出口(39)の反対側に負圧燃料コック(10)が位置することで、クランク室内の潤滑油が負圧取出口(39)から漏れた場合においても、負圧燃料コック(10)が負圧取出口(39)より高い位置となるので、負圧燃料コック(10)へ潤滑油が流れることがない。   According to the present invention, when the portable engine generator falls, the negative pressure fuel cock (10) is positioned on the opposite side of the negative pressure outlet (39) with respect to the position of the power generation section (40). Even when the lubricating oil in the crank chamber leaks from the negative pressure outlet (39), the negative pressure fuel cock (10) is positioned higher than the negative pressure outlet (39), so that the negative pressure fuel cock (10) is moved to.

The portable gas engine generator 1 in the center of FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the portable gas engine generator 1 as viewed from the front side when the portable gas engine generator 1 is upright, and is present in the crank chamber 31 of the engine 30. The oil surface X of the lubricating oil maintains the height of the dotted line position.

この状態から左側に横転すると図4の左位置に表示した携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1の状態となり、潤滑油が負圧取出口39に流れ込み、油面Xを点線位置の高さに維持して負圧チューブ14内(図におけるU字状部分)に貯留することになる(貯留部位を斜線で示す)。この場合、負圧燃料コック10は、携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1の転倒時における発電部40の位置に対してクランク室31の負圧取出口39の反対側に形成されているため、負圧取出口39に対して上側に負圧燃料コック10が位置するため、負圧燃料コック10に潤滑油が流れ込むことはない。   If this rolls over to the left side from this state, the portable gas engine generator 1 shown in the left position in FIG. 4 is brought into a state. It is stored in the negative pressure tube 14 (U-shaped portion in the figure) (the storage site is indicated by hatching). In this case, since the negative pressure fuel cock 10 is formed on the opposite side of the negative pressure outlet 39 of the crank chamber 31 with respect to the position of the power generation unit 40 when the portable gas engine generator 1 falls, the negative pressure is reduced. Since the negative pressure fuel cock 10 is positioned on the upper side with respect to the outlet 39, the lubricating oil does not flow into the negative pressure fuel cock 10.

また、この状態(横転状態)から携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1を正立状態に戻すに際しては、携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1の正立時において、負圧燃料コック10が負圧取出口39よりも高い位置に配置されているので、負圧チューブ14内に漏れ出た潤滑油を負圧燃料コック10側へ流すことなくクランク室31に戻すことができる。   Further, when the portable gas engine generator 1 is returned to the upright state from this state (the rollover state), the negative pressure fuel cock 10 is more than the negative pressure outlet 39 when the portable gas engine generator 1 is upright. Since it is disposed at a high position, the lubricating oil leaked into the negative pressure tube 14 can be returned to the crank chamber 31 without flowing to the negative pressure fuel cock 10 side.

一方、中央の状態から右側に横転すると図4の右位置に表示した携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1の状態となるが、負圧燃料コック10は、携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1の転倒時における発電部40の位置に対してクランク室31の負圧取出口39の反対側に形成されているため、負圧取出口39が潤滑油の油面Xより上側に位置するため負圧取出口39に流れ込む(漏れ出る)ことはない。   On the other hand, when the vehicle rolls over to the right side from the center state, the portable gas engine generator 1 displayed at the right position in FIG. 4 is brought into the state, but the negative pressure fuel cock 10 generates power when the portable gas engine generator 1 falls. Since it is formed on the opposite side of the negative pressure outlet 39 of the crank chamber 31 with respect to the position of the portion 40, the negative pressure outlet 39 is located above the oil level X of the lubricating oil, so It does not flow (leak).

上述した携帯型ガスエンジン発電機1によれば、エンジン30の燃料系システムとしての負圧燃料コック10の配置位置を工夫することにより、別体のブリーザ室を設けることなく、転倒時における潤滑油周りを防止することができる。
また、負圧燃料コック10の冷却性を向上させることで、使用温度範囲内で負圧燃料コック10を使用することで信頼性の確保を図ることができる。
According to the portable gas engine generator 1 described above, by devising the arrangement position of the negative pressure fuel cock 10 as a fuel system system of the engine 30, the lubricating oil at the time of falling without providing a separate breather chamber. The surroundings can be prevented.
Further, by improving the cooling performance of the negative pressure fuel cock 10, it is possible to ensure reliability by using the negative pressure fuel cock 10 within the operating temperature range.
